I’ve just released two new paper packs, this time they’re wonderfully rich textured solids; Jewel Tones and Pretty Pastels. Each pack includes 10 12″x12″ papers at 300dpi. They’re 40% off for the remainder of the week, along with all my other paper packs, which you can grab in my Scrapdish store.

And, since I’m focusing on paper this week, I also have another video tutorial for you! This one shows you how to combine photographs with digital scrapbook paper to create your own custom background. You can download the high resolution version here, or watch it below. Enjoy!

The rolled and corners tutorial on my blog, the first ones I created, have been extremely popular, so I finally decided to record them as video tutorials. You now have two options for viewing them, you can either watch them on-screen in YouTube format, or you can download the higher resolution version here:Creating Folded CornersCreating Rolled Corners

Also, since these tutorials are all about creative ways to use digital paper, I decided to put all my paper packs on sale at 40% off for the week! Here’s a sneak peak at my packs, and you can grab them in my Scrapdish store.

I’ve just released two sets of frame templates in my store at Scrapdish, Circles & Ovals and Squares & Rectangles. There are 10 templates in each set, and each set also includes a video tutorial that shows you unique ways to use the templates on your pages. The Circles & Ovals video teaches you how to use blending modes with the templates, and the Squares & Rectangles teaches you how to use clipping masks to add decorative edges to your photographs. The sets can also be purchased as a bundle. The individual sets and the bundled set are 25% off until this Friday.

If you would like to try a couple templates before you buy, you can download a freebie here. The freebie includes oval and rectangular templates, and also comes with a video tutorial showing you how to cut the templates out of digital scrapbook paper.

I hope everyone had a great Mother’s Day! I got spoiled a little bit, got to relax while the housework and laundry were done for me, so I did a little scrapping. Mother’s Day is always a little bittersweet for me now, I lost my mom four years ago to breast cancer, just a few days after Mother’s Day. So this layout is about her, even though it doesn’t include a picture of her.

Whew, I hope everyone has recovered from NSD! I have a couple new goodies for you this weekend, the first is a set of 10 brag book pages created from my Just Peachy kit. It’s 25% off for the weekend, and you can pick it up here.

I’ve also gathered the full Just Peachy Collection together, so you can get the papers, the elements, the alphabet and the brag book at a discount. Also 25% off for the weekend, you can get the full collection for just $8.25.

And finally, my Spring Blooms mini-kit is now in my store. This is a very pretty, delicate kit with softly worn papers. You can grab it here, and it’s 25% off for the weekend, only $1.87.

I have another digiscrapping tutorial for you! This one shows you how to easily create very realistic looking digitally torn paper for your scrapbook pages. You can watch the Youtube version below or click here to download the high resolution version.

These fun frames make your photos look as if they were pieced together from multiple photos, with a few corners lifting up. The frames also come with a video tutorial showing you how to use them. (Don’t worry, its easy!) If you’d like to try one out before you buy, here’s a freebie sample, which also comes with the video tutorial. And here’s an example of a photo using one of the frames in the set.

Well here it is, the last piece of the mini-kit! Now that you have the whole kit, I’d love to see what you do with it, so here’s a little extra motivation.

Between now and the end of the NSD weekend, leave a comment on my blog with a link to a layout you’ve created using the Spring Blooms kit (the link can be to any gallery). Everyone who participates will be entered into a draw for a $10 gift certificate to my store, and I’ll announce the winner on Monday. Can’t wait to see what you come up with!

And don’t forget, everything at Scrapdish is on sale right now and through the weekend, and all Red Leaf DigiScrapping products are 40% off, so come on over and check them out!
